揠苗助长 To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow
阅读 : 次
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow.
从前，有一个老农夫，他种了一块田的稻谷。在他种下秧苗之后，每天他都到田里去看秧苗的生长。
He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly.
他看到这些秧苗破土而出，每天都长高了些，但他仍然认为它们生长得太慢了。
Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch.
最终，他对这些幼苗失去了耐心，突然想到一个主意：一棵接一棵地，他把秧苗拔了半英寸。
The next early morning, the man couldn’t wait to check his “achievement”, but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.
第二天一大早，这人迫不及待地去稻田看他的“成果”，却看到所有的秧苗都枯萎了，心都碎了。
